#95: Why are we so scared of fat? – with Victoria Welsby
20 Jun 2017
I’m chatting with Victoria Welsby, Confidence and Body Love Coach from BAM POW LIFE, about why we are so scared of fat, what you can do to change your internal bias and what to do if you’re afraid your partner will leave you if you gain weight. We talk about: - Victoria’s story of being homeless, experiencing abuse and low self-esteem and how her adversity made her more resilient and helped her become an awesome fat activist, - We explore why society is so afraid of fat and what Victoria learned when she did a social experiment asking people their thoughts on fat bodies, - What the good fatty/bad fatty dichotomy is and why our culture is so obsessed with health, - How to challenge and change the internalized fatphobia and help others to see their biases, - What Victoria did when her partner told her that he would find her more attractive if she was thinner, - What to do if you’re in a relationship where you are afraid your partner will leave you if you gain weight, - Whether it’s possible to change your partner’s point of view and help them challenge their social conditioning, And so much more!
